Hell, it is 2012

I have get use to doing more BOGGING. two years between post is probably too long!!!! We make it thru 2011 in pretty good shape. Enjoyed Paul and his sons here for Christmas, the first time in a long time. Still execising some and even got Mom to do some low impact exercising. Got some time scheduled in the Desert(Palm Desert) next month, so let it snow all it wants to. The fans are getting restless for Spring and getting the Cabin open for the year. Love all you guys and gals

Here comes FAll

Been a while since we have posted anything on this Blog. Looks like Summer is about over and we now look forward to the most beautiful time of the year. Rhea and I are going to spend a couple of weeks at the CABIN!!!!!! Probably won't be doing much swimming or boating, but will be doing some relaxing and reading and listening to Books on Tape. Having some of Rhea's bridge playing folks up so will be playing some bridge and also easting some of Grammy's great dinners. Have happy back to school and enjoy the FAll

MERRY CHRISTMAS

HERE WE ARE A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND WE COULD USE SOME SNOW IF WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A "WHITE CHRISTMAS" IT IS COLD ENOUGH TO SNOW. FINALLY GOT THE LIGHT ON THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE ALL WORKING, HAD A SHORT AND FINALLY GOT IT FIXED( NOT EASY WITH THE SNOW IN THE ROOF). LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVEING THE FAMILY OVER ON CHRISTMAS MORNING FOR BREAKFAST. ALWAYS A TREAT TO ENJOY THIS TRADITION. WE THANK THE LORD FOR OUR GOOD HEALTH OVER THIS LAST YEAR AND ALL OF THE MANY BLESSINGS THAT WE ENJOY!!! HAVE A GREAT XMAS AND A PROSPOROUS NEW YEAR.

New Cabin Roof

A quick note and a couple of pictures of the quick trip to West Yellowstone. Spence and I journied to the cabin to check out the installation of the new metal roof. Went up on Monday afternoon and stayed in West that night. (Thanks to a FREE room at the Holiday Inn provided by Paul) Had rain most of the way North but Tusday morning we woke up to clear and Cold morning. The contractor had three hands working on the roofing and they had the garage all done but the finishing touches. They had a good start on the East side and planed in finishing up on Tuesday Afternoon.

It's FALL

It's FAll and we just completed the CLOSING OF THE CABIN. Went up on Friday and completed a very sucessful "logging" on Saturday (Which turned out to be great day, weather wise) As you can see by the attached photo , the "wooding crew"haul in a good amount of fire wood which sohould last thru the next couple of years. Another change for next year is a new ROOF, just ordered a new metal roof to replace the 56 year old one that serves well. Got the closeing done on Sunday, Boats put away, shutters on, flag pole taken down and every thing locked up.

Septembe rememberance

A quick recap of September (so far). Grammy and I spent a great couple of weeks at our favorite place, the Cabin on Hebgen Lake. It was beautiful Indian Summer as far as weather was concerned. A full lake!! Tom was up there the week before and try as he may , they didn't catch a fish. We are going to have to have a work party to gather some more logs for cutting, as with the cool mornings, there was a welcome fire to take the chill off. We were invited to wedding of The Jex daughter down at Anahiem on the 19thl, so Alyson decided it was a wonderful oppertunity to visit DISNEYLAND, so we flew down to Orange County Airport and thru the connections that Lynell has we got lodging at the Friends and Family discount at the Fairfield Inn and a free pass's to the Park. WHAT A DEAL!!! Grammy had her own transportation
Grammy has played in a couple of Bridge Tournies and has done very well. Grandpa is glad that Football Season is here, but disapointed in the last Ute's game with Oragon.
